Reports on oil and gas activities

The Danish subsoil is used for more than just the production of oil and gas. The subsoil is used to extract salt and geothermal heat and to store natural gas, and also the potential future use for storage of CO2.

The report “Denmark's Oil and Gas Production and Subsoil Use” gives an overview of the activities in the oil and gas sector and uses of the Danish subsoil other than oil and gas activities. Download the report at this page.
